reshape life

The cruise ship blasting scene to be filmed today is the climax of the whole movie, and it is also the most thrilling and important scene in the whole filming process.

Long before the shooting, the professional blasting engineer invited by the crew had designed the safest plan for installing explosive devices according to the size of the cruise ship and the surrounding environment, and after repeated measurements and calculations, determined the blasting range and location of the entire blasting scene. safe distance.

Because in order to really blow up a scrap oil tanker during filming, the general explosive device is definitely not enough, which requires the use of more powerful military explosives.So in the blasting scene on this day, in addition to the pyrotechnics blasting team hired by the crew, there were also blasting experts sent by the army.

While the main actors were putting on makeup for the show, the blasting experts had used various props to conduct multiple test explosions on the set to ensure that nothing would go wrong when shooting later.

A violent sound came from outside, and Xu Baoyan, who had no experience in blasting scenes, was startled when she heard it, she walked to Lu Heng's side with a pale face, and looked at him eagerly.

The helpless look is like a frightened little white rabbit, with its ears trembling on its stomach.

Lu Heng smiled slightly, and his gentle eyes fell on Xu Baoyan's body. Xu Baoyan suddenly felt as if she was wrapped in hot spring water, and the whole person slowly calmed down.She heard Lu Heng patiently explaining to her: "You don't have to worry too much. When we are filming later, we just need to pose in front of the camera. The main thing is to shoot some scenes showing our faces and dialogues. When it really explodes, We will all retreat to a safe position and put on stuntmen with professional experience to help us move, and the prop master will also bring props and puppets to replace the actors. Generally, there is no risk. Seriously speaking, those doubles The stuntmen are in greater danger than we are."

And most of the thrilling explosion scenes in the movie are shot cuts.

That being said, Xu Baoyan was still very nervous.She looked at Lu Heng restlessly: "Can those blasters really determine the safe distance? They are all military explosives, so powerful, if there is a negligence, we will all be ruined."

"Will they miss a few meters or something, and count us into the explosion range?"

Sitting beside him, Wang Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, and comforted him patiently: "How could it be? Those blasting experts have measured it more than ten times before and after, and even simulated several explosion tests with props. It will be fine."

Probably caused by Xu Baoyan's nervous chatter, Liang Yulin, who hadn't spoken much, also persuaded her: "I've been filming for so long, and I've seen a lot of explosion scenes, and nothing happened. Accidents don't happen all the time. After all, there are still a small number of unlucky people. So when filming, you just need to obediently follow the instructions of the scene manager and the blaster. Don’t be so trembling and make everyone nervous.”

Although Liang Yulin was laughing and teasing Xu Baoyan, everyone could still hear a little impatience from Liang Yulin's tone.Xu Baoyan was startled when she heard the words, then nodded embarrassingly, and obediently shrank aside and stopped talking.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.There were footsteps behind him, Lu Heng turned his head, and saw Wei Linxuan who said he was going to the toilet but came back after half an hour.

"Why did it take so long?"

Wei Linxuan smiled and asked for credit: "Seeing that you are all so nervous, I went over and asked Mai Dao to notify the blasting team to remove the blasting device on the cruise ship first, and then install the blasting after you finished filming."

When everyone heard this, they glanced at Xu Baoyan with strange expressions.Liang Yulin smiled slightly, and said with an indescribable emotion, "Won't this delay the filming time of the crew?"

"Your safety is the most important thing! We also want to ensure everything is safe." Wei Linxuan glanced at Lu Heng with a smile: "At worst, let them make up another day of filming, and Huaxia Emperor Entertainment will bear the extra cost."

If it wasn't for Xu Baoyan's nervousness all day long, Wei Linxuan would have forgotten about Lu Heng's depression.Even though it's been so long, it shouldn't be a problem.But Wei Linxuan also didn't want Lu Heng to experience psychological fluctuations again because of his panic during filming.

He patted Lu Heng on the shoulder and said with a soft smile, "Everyone, don't be nervous, I will put your safety first. Compared with your safety, wasting a day's time and cost of shooting is nothing at all."

Although Wei Linxuan's words were aimed at everyone, everyone's eyes couldn't help but stare at the arm around Lu Heng's shoulder, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "Huaxia Diyu is really good to artists." ah!"

I really can't understand what those artists who defected to other companies for profit are thinking.If they had changed, if they could have such a good boss who was willing to take care of the artists, would they burn incense every day?

Thinking of this, actor Wang Zhen, who had never signed a mainland contract, and actress Liang Yulin couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

Before they could say anything, director Mai Chengliang sent a field manager to inform everyone to enter the set.

Under normal circumstances, before the official shooting starts, the field staff will walk several times according to the director's instructions to ensure that there are no omissions in the insertion and insertion of the shots.Next, the main actors only need to follow the instructions of the field staff to familiarize themselves with the walking and standing positions before the official shooting.

However, today’s situation is special. In order to ensure that the actors do not make mistakes during the official shooting, everyone must strictly follow the data given by the blaster and familiarize themselves with the positions during the day. Although it is a bit troublesome to go back and forth, but for everyone’s Safe, no one will complain.

After the protagonists practiced their positions several times, it was the turn of the stand-in stunt performers to appear on stage.After repeating this several times, the sun sets and the golden crow hangs down.

When the last afterglow of the setting sun melts into the sky and water, the filming of this scene can finally start officially.

The field staff used a speedboat to send the actors to the cruise ship. Later, they will first take a shot of the actors jumping off the ship.

According to the requirements of the plot, after Sara activates the self-destruct device, the entire ship will explode from the engine room at the back, and then quickly spread to the entire cabin.The main actors either jumped directly into the sea to escape, or jumped into the lifeboat and left.

This is a scrapped cruise ship destined to be blown up, and any valuable parts have long been hollowed out, leaving only an empty frame of scrap copper and rotten iron.In order to save money, the crew only painted a new layer of paint on the outside of the cruise ship, which looks very high-end and elegant, but the internal facilities are extremely dilapidated, and only the scenes scanned by the camera are decorated with splendor.

When Lu Heng climbed up the cruise ship behind everyone, all he could think of was the other cruise ship and several high-end restaurants that everyone used to shoot the interior scenes. The strong visual contrast produced a huge gap. The big thought is a psychological suspense film about cruise ships that became popular all over the world a few years later.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile to everyone, "Why don't I tell you a story."

Several people suddenly showed expressions of relish.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "This is also a story about a cruise ship..."

Lu Heng's thinking is very clear and his speech is very concise, but it's a pity that this journey is too short.When everyone arrived at the shooting location, Lu Heng had just finished telling the beginning of the story.

Then everyone suddenly heard a loud explosion in their ears, the entire cruise ship trembled suddenly, and thick black smoke filled the air.Some useless decorations fell from the walls of the old cabin. Under the action of inertia, several actors and the photographers who followed were all unable to stand still, and each of them was staggered by the impact.

"What's going on?" Xu Baoyan, who had been tense in her mind, screamed.

"Did it explode? Did they hit the blast button? Did they try to kill us?"

Following Xu Baoyan's scream, everyone clearly felt the whole ship vibrate again, this time even the deck was tilted obviously, Xu Baoyan only felt the strings in her brain snapped.She cried and cried hysterically on the deck: "Help, help!"

The other actors who had remained calm couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Wang Zhenhuo turned his head and grabbed the field manager's collar: "What's going on? Didn't it mean that the real blasting didn't start until ten o'clock in the evening?"

The field manager also looked confused: "I don't know?"

"How do you guys—"

"At what time are you still asking these useless people to die? Hurry up and jump ship!"

In his previous life, he had filmed many gunfight and martial arts scenes, and Lu Heng, who had experienced more explosion scenes, was the first to react.He grabbed the person beside him with one hand and pushed them up the railing. Liang Yulin, the actress who had always been charming and generous, was holding on to the railing tightly, feeling her legs go weak: "I can't swim!"

Lu Heng suddenly turned his head to look at the field manager: "Where's the life jacket?"

Everyone is going to shoot the scene of jumping off the ship. In order to ensure the safety of the actors, the crew will definitely prepare life jackets.

The scene manager pointed to the corner of the set with a confused expression.In order not to affect the shooting, the life jacket and swimming ring were covered by a thick black tarpaulin.Lu Heng quickly ran over to distribute life jackets to everyone, only to find out that there were only six life jackets and three swimming rings, all of which were for the main actors.There is no preparation for the scene, photographers, and lighting engineers at all.

The faces of several field managers and photographers who also couldn't swim turned pale, and the cameras in their hands fell to the ground with a bang.

Lu Heng cursed angrily.

He threw the life jacket to a thin and small polisher, and said quickly: "Jump! Director Mai and the others on the shore must have noticed that the cruise ship exploded early, and they will send a speedboat to rescue us."

Besides, there are still troops watching by the side, so they shouldn't just watch them die.

Time was running out, and the big guys spared their lives and didn't say anything more. They all put on life jackets and jumped down.

Wang Zhen ran to Xu Baoyan's side with a life jacket and stretched out his hand to pick her up.Unexpectedly, Xu Baoyan was so frightened by the explosion that she completely collapsed, she just covered her head and screamed, her whole body was piled limply on the deck, unable to get up.

Originally, Lu Heng wanted to jump off the boat directly, but glanced at Wang Zhen and Xu Baoyan, was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth violently, ran over and grabbed Xu Baoyan's other arm, and slashed Xu Baoyan's back of the neck with his hand as a knife.

Xu Baoyan, who had been screaming and struggling, suddenly softened, and leaned softly on Wang Zhen's body.

Wang Zhen stared at Lu Heng in shock.

Lu Heng quickly asked Wang Zhen to put the life jacket on Xu Baoyan, and then took off his jacket to help tie Xu Baoyan to Wang Zhen.Try to push people into the sea, and then jump down yourself.

However, the moment Lu Heng jumped down, the entire hull tilted again, and Lu Heng lost his footing and fell back.Lu Heng, who was completely dizzy from the fall, didn't care about anything, got up and jumped off the boat again.

In late autumn, the sea water was icy cold, and Lu Heng plunged into the water with inertia, holding back for a long time before swimming up.Desperately swim in the opposite direction of the cruise ship, trying to stay away from the burning cruise ship.

Fortunately, except for the initial explosion, the other explosion-point facilities installed on the cruise ship did not explode.

Even at night, you can see the thick black smoke emanating from the cruise ship. The black smoke echoes with the fire, and it goes straight to the sky, reflecting half of the sea like daytime.

Mai Chengliang, who was guarding in front of the monitor on the shore, was stunned. Wei Linxuan jumped up and cursed angrily: "What's the matter, didn't you ask you to dismantle the explosive facility first?"

Mai Chengliang's mind went blank, and he couldn't react tremblingly: "I, I don't know what's going on, I've already followed your instructions."

"Damn it!" Wei Linxuan scratched his hair angrily, and hurriedly asked someone to drive a speedboat to rescue him.

The blasting team invited by the film crew and the blasting experts sent by the army all came over. Everyone had a gloomy face, fearing that the cruise ship would continue to explode.

"What's the matter, didn't you ask you to dismantle the bomb first, and then reinstall it after the actors finished filming?"

"All the explosive facilities we installed have been dismantled." The bomb disposal expert responded with a gloomy face: "Our detectors did not respond, and the bomb that exploded was not installed by us."

Wei Linxuan was taken aback when he heard the words, his face turned pale.

Without any explanation, he threw away a group of people and ran to the pier, drove a speedboat and headed directly towards the cruise ship.

On the way, Wei Linxuan ran into the speedboat that rushed over to rescue people first. Wei Linxuan looked back and forth on the speedboat, only seeing Liu Jiawei, Liang Yulin, Wang Zhen, the unconscious Xu Baoyan, and several other lighting cameras from the crew.

There was no sign of Lu Heng.

Wei Linxuan asked violently: "Where's Lu Heng? Has any of you seen Lu Heng?"

Wang Zhen immediately said: "He jumped down with me!" But after jumping off, he disappeared.

The lighting engineer who accepted Lu Heng's life jacket before also said: "He said he can swim, so he gave me the life jacket."

Wei Linxuan could only feel his temples on both sides beating violently.With a livid face, without saying a word, he directly started the accelerator and rushed out.

Someone behind him shouted loudly: "Don't go there, it's too dangerous!"

Danger to your mother!

Wei Linxuan ran back and forth on the sea, laps and laps. He didn't know how long he ran, but he felt his heart beating violently.At that moment, as if something was guiding him, Wei Linxuan turned the steering rudder of the speedboat and ran in the direction of his heartbeat.

He faintly heard someone calling for help, and he drove the speedboat over, and sure enough, he saw a person heaving and falling on the sea illuminated by the fire.

Lu Heng didn't know how long he had been swimming. Although his young body was strong, he was still a teenager after all.After a while, he felt exhausted, and the rescue speedboat didn't know why he didn't go this way. Lu Heng gritted his teeth and insisted, calling for help from time to time. He felt that he couldn't hold on for long.

I really overestimated my physical strength.

Lu Heng smiled wryly, wondering if the life he picked up was going to be scrapped.

When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of a speedboat piercing the sea.

The sound was getting closer, and Lu Heng tried to widen his eyes.Wei Linxuan had already turned off the engine slowly. He parked the speedboat precisely beside Lu Heng, and with his long arm, he scooped the exhausted Lu Heng into the speedboat.

"Not dead?" Wei Linxuan asked angrily.

"You still have breath!" Lu Heng replied with a wry smile.

Wei Linxuan launched the speedboat with a livid face, and drove to the shore at the fastest speed, while thinking unbearably: "What kind of hero do you think you are? It's great to be able to swim? Running for your life in the sea is two different things?"

"Also, do you say that you are a big man who can't even distinguish between the southeast and the north, the hero who saves the beauty? Everyone jumps off the boat and swims towards the shore, but you have to do it the other way around! When you escaped for your life, you didn't forget to pursue special Do you have any illnesses?"

"...Do you know why some people can live a hundred years and others die halfway? Because people with long lives never meddle in their own business!"

Lu Heng lay limp in the speedboat, listening to Wei Linxuan's crazy thoughts, he said with a smile, "Thank you for saving my life."

Lu Heng's voice was weak, with a sense of weakness.Wei Linxuan froze for a moment, then snorted insincerely.

"In short, you must remember our promise!"

What promise?

Lu Heng barely opened his eyes, and looked at Wei Linxuan blankly.

Even if he didn't look back, he could still feel Lu Heng's blank curiosity that almost broke through the sky, and Wei Linxuan, who was furious like an owl, said angrily: "No puppy love!!!!"

"Even if the hero saves the beauty, you are not allowed to be with that Xu Baoyan. I understand it, that girl must be against you! You can't be with her!!"

Lu Heng suddenly realized, and quickly said in a gentle voice: "I know. I won't fall in love early. I don't like her either."

Wei Linxuan rolled his eyes indignantly: Then you risk your life to save her? ? ? ! ! !

As if he heard Wei Linxuan's heart, Lu Heng smiled and said, "I'm a man!"

Wei Linxuan snorted coldly!

Because the speedboat had already arrived at the pier, Wei Linxuan reluctantly swallowed the complaints in his mouth when he saw the field staff and doctors swarming up.

He helped the soft-handed and weak-footed Lu Heng onto the stretcher, and put a clean towel on him. He didn't let go of the worry that had been hanging in his throat until the doctor confirmed that Lu Heng was fine and just caught a cold.

Someone installed a bomb in the cruise ship that was about to be exploded, and detonated the bomb in advance.This is no longer an accident on the set, but a deliberate murder.

So Director Mai Chengliang called the police immediately.

The police rushed over as quickly as possible to protect and investigate the scene, searching for suspicious persons.

However, there was another group of people who arrived faster than the police—the gossip paparazzi reporters who penetrated everywhere in Xiangcheng.

After a near-miss explosion on a cruise ship, the entire filming scene was in chaos.No one was in the mood to deal with these paparazzi reporters, Mai Chengliang directly asked the reporters to block the outside of the set, and refused the media reporters to enter on the grounds of protecting the scene.

Entertainment newspapers and gossip paparazzi reporters also knew that this matter would become a big deal, and it might turn into a criminal case.He didn't dare to rush in on the charge of destroying the scene, so he could only wait outside the set and wait for the police to come, or interview the crew.Take a few photos of the burning cruise ship from a distance.

Because the cruise ship that exploded and burned has slowly sank into the sea, it is difficult for the police to investigate the specific cause of the cruise ship explosion.You can only record a statement to the crew first.

During the recording of the statement, he was surprised to find that a pyrotechnician from the blasting team had disappeared.

After confirmation, Wei Linxuan also remembered that the missing pyrotechnician was the community security guard he saw very familiarly in the afternoon.

Now everyone noticed something was wrong.The police immediately identified the missing pyrotechnician as a suspect.And according to the clues provided by Wei Linxuan, they found the community property where Wei's family lived to investigate the identity of the suspect.

After the police finished recording the transcript and left, Liu Jiawei, Liang Yulin and other leading actors all rushed over to visit Lu Heng.Xu Baoyan, who had already woken up, looked at Lu Heng who was drinking ginger tea to keep warm after changing into clean clothes, her eyes sparkled brightly, and she came over with a spring heart to thank her.

It is estimated that what I think in my mind is the hero saving the beauty and agreeing to those bloody romance plots.

It's a pity that Wei Linxuan, who almost lost his little friend, has a prejudiced attitude towards Xu Baoyan's birth date. Although Xu Baoyan is a girl, Wei Linxuan, who has always been a gentleman and polite, will not let Xu Baoyan get off the stage in front of everyone.But his attitude is very firm.

"Miss Xu should be most grateful to Best Actor Wang, who risked his life and jumped off the boat behind your back. Our Xiaoheng just doesn't want any accidents between you two. By the way, why didn't you see Best Actor Wang?"

Xu Baoyan's expression immediately became worried.She bit her bright red lips with her white teeth, and said worriedly: "Dad, he was frightened and had a heart attack. He just took medicine and fell asleep—"

and many more!

What's the matter with dad?

For a moment, the superstars who always felt that they heard a lie looked at each other, and finally waited for Xu Baoyan with horrified eyes.

Xu Baoyan, who was completely unaware of her slip of the tongue, blinked her eyes cutely, and was about to ask everyone what the swelling was, when she heard a click, and a white light flashed.

Everyone turned their heads abruptly, and saw the paparazzi reporter who sneaked in without knowing when and ran out with the camera in his arms!
